Ninth and last entry : Alter Ego
As it is generally a tradition with the Dutch team The New Image (TNI), we have received their entry 10 minutes before the deadline ! So, MSXdev’11 ended with a total of 9 new games that we hope you will enjoy !
Alter Ego is a platform puzzle game, where you can switch between two personalities who move on opposite ways to collect pixels in a world invaded by some enemies and other perils. As the number of available swaps is limited per level, you need actually to solve a puzzle ! So many challenges to keep you busy during many hours ! As it was announced by a visitor of this website, it’s a MSX adaptation of a game released originally on ZX Spectrum.

Did the coders behind this contact the original designer and musician before making this game, as Shiru’s website requests? (this game is based on his open source NES clone of the ZX original)
It would seem very unfair if this won the competition as the people behind the intellectual property would get no credit…

Concerning your other question, The New Image team is well-known in the MSX community to always follow the rules when it comes about copyrights and intellectual propriety.
Thanks for confirming that. I was chatting with Shiru about this the other day and he had no idea someone had made a MSX port, so I (falsely?) assumed you’d not contacted Denis or Richard before converting the game. I didn’t mean to offend – I was just concerned that this would upset Denis as I know he is quite protective over the Alter Ego/8-Bit Story concept.
Of course I got permission from Denis and Richard before even announcing the game.
However it’s true that I haven’t yet contacted Shiru about it, although I’ve had a concept e-mail in my Drafts folder for a week or two.
I’m a bit shocked about your insinuation, James…
Please accept my sincere apologies GuyveR800, I didn’t mean to offend. Good luck with the competition – I’m sure that Alter Ego will come out in the top three as it is an excellent game – and not a bad port either
